Be advised that password-protecting an unencrypted folder will not prevent accessing the folder from, say, a live CD. If all you want to do is prevent access by relatively unsophisticated users who may only have a casual interest in the contents of the folder, a password sounds sufficient.

another possibility is to use makeself to create a self-extracting archive of the directory. Because makeself uses a script, or executable, within the target directory, you can then create a target script that won't run, unless some particular password is entered. If the proper password is entered, the script can then run the one-click script.

Thanks Muggins. I decided to go for your suggestion, however i was buggered if i could work it out. Couldnt even get it to work without a password. I will come back to it at some point and work it out.
